The Harder They Come

And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come, harder they'll fall, one and all

And I keep on fighting for the things I want
So as sure as the sun will shine
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all
And they think that they have got the battle won
I'm gonna get my share right now of what's mine
So as sure as the sun will shine
Yeah, the harder they come the harder they fall, one and all
Though I know that when you're dead you can't

I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine

Well, the oppressors are trying to keep me down
'Cause as sure as the sun will shine
I say, "Forgive them, Lord, they know not what they've done"
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave

Ooh, the harder they come, harder they'll fall, one and all
Than living as a puppet or a slave
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine

Ooh, the harder they come, harder they'll fall, one and all
They never seem to hear even your cry

But between the day you're born and when you die
Trying to drag me underground
